However, some faculty’s review periods might be less than five years if they’ve recently had a comprehensive review. For example, if a faculty member was recently promoted three years ago, then the period will be three years. If a faculty member concluded administrative service less than five years ago, then the review period will be time from the conclusion of the service to the time of the PPPR, but not greater than five years.
The review period is the length of time since the last comprehensive review not to exceed five years. Comprehensive reviews are tenure and/or promotion review, an EPPR, or a PPPR. The review period for most faculty will be the last five academic years:
